Record Kicks is proud to announce the signing of Alexis
Evans and the release of a new album by the French enfant prodige of
Soul/R&B in 2019.
Heading from Bordeaux, the Anglo-French Alexis Evans is not
a newcomer in the music scene. He discovered Afro-American music as a child and
learnt to play guitar thanks to his father, an English musician. At the age of
17 he debuted with his first project “Jumping to the Westside”, with which he
was awarded the “Cognac Blues Passion” prize and flew to the “International
Blues Challenge” in Memphis, Tennessee.
Soon after in 2016 he exploded onto the French scene with
“Girl Bait”, his astonishing debut album that hit the airwaves of FIP, France
Bleu, and Jazz Radio amongst the others. Despite his young age Alexis Evans has
already built a household name, touring extensively his country with explosive
live sets at RDV Erdre Nantes, Rhino Jazz St-Etienne, Lyon Ninkasi, Club Nubia
Paris, Festivals Relâche Bordeaux, Jazz à Vienne as well as Festivals in
England, Estonia, Switzerland and Wales.
Fans of James Hunter Six and Stax Records watch out, prepare
yourselves for a contagious electric discharge.
